Hello all,

maybe this is of interest for some of you.
Over the last months I created the accompanying songbook for Progressive
Rock band Transatlantic’s new album Kaleidoscope. Like my last book for
Neal Morse it was all done in LilyPond.
Here is the info page for the album (and book):
http://www.radiantrecords.com/products/483-transatlantic-kaleidoscope.aspx

We are printing the book on demand with CreateSpace, so they are also
available on Amazon. It’s fascinating what is possible nowadays without a
big publisher.

Maybe this would also be something for the Pondings column on the LilyPond
website if it qualifies?

I think this would warrant a Ponding (forwarding to but-lilypond).
But it would be nice if there were at least an example page somewhere.

PS: If you could share more experience than just the fact of its existence you might as well write a blog post about the project (good for us, advertisment for you ;-) )

Do I have to do anything in order for it to get into the Pondings?

I sent a sample page to Radiant Records, so they could include it on their page, but they seem to have chosen not to do so, or probably they just forgot. However, the Look Inside feature on Amazon is now available, so here you can see some pages: http://www.amazon.com/Kaleidoscope-Songbook-Transatlantic/dp/0615947077/

I like the idea of writing a blog post. I have to see, though, if I can get round to it, at the moment I have to carefully ponder what to spend time on.
